Toyos have now produced a new tyre range: the T1- R, this will take over from the T1-S, supposed to be quieter and last a (little bit) longer. Went to the launch if the tyre last week at Rockingham race circuit......What an absolutely amazing day!!!!! Had a big

Hehe yeah it was a VW spoiler, was lucky was on ebay and i got it for Â£20, cost Â£130 to spray and fit it but that's at "family" rates. Wheels were courtsey of Nelson_Wilbury working for a VAG dealership and phoned about to find old stock, Â£50 a wheel, tyres cost approx Â£230 but well worth that price so grippy, though because i'm only a 1.2 i feel my acceleration wasn't as good as it was but you also have to take in consideration what i have in the boot

Â£130 is rather steep for painting and fitting

good bargin wheels btw!
rear spoiler is Â£135 from VW

looking neat, think cc bump strips should be next on your list!

Was quoted Â£200+ from other places

I think it's the fitting part that bumps the price up mostly.

Probably wont bother colour coding everything, car wouldn't look right i don't think with my black taillights so i might just leave bits of black about the place, hence i have crystal black side repeaters, and when and if i get headlights they'll probably be black too.
